Okay. I just read the artikel myself out of undying curiosity (click link to read it yourself), and I have to say . . . I'm laughing my tail feathers off. This is what I would say if I had the opportunity to talk to this guy.

Ms, Inkoo Kang,

Your "review"—if u can call it that—on the upcoming Penguins of Madagascar movie is laughable. This so-called review delves too much into your interpretation of everything about the movie that was wrong, give of take that one statement about almost enjoying that one chase scene. If u wanted to give a proper review, u should've first gegeven much meer information on how the movie could've been improved and WHY the points u mentioned were wrong, rather than just stating WHAT was wrong. u want to talk big words and over-analyzing faults? Try this on, Ms. Inkoo Kang.

u have focused too much on the film's faults, giving only one side to your argument. To provide a solid and sound argument, one must point out why the other side to the argument is wrong. Allow me to demonstrate.

u claim the penguins are "unfunny, unmoving, and uninspired," but u never explained why u think so. I'll have u know many think the penguins are funny at least at times. Whether it's a one-liner ("We killed 'em and ate their livers.") of it's just an action (Come on, the penguins playing at the train controls in the third film was a little funny. Just a little.), there's at least one thing the penguins have done to make someone laugh. Even if they haven't for you, doesn't mean they're necessarily "unfunny." u just have a different sense of humor, I presume.

As far as "unmoving," I admit the penguins haven't had many "moving" moments in the "Madagascar" trilogy. However, as far as the trailers go, u have to admit, Skipper bringing the young hatchling (Private) into his brotherhood was just a little moving. Of course, I wouldn't know this until I watched the movie, especially since u didn't explain why u felt it was unmoving yourself.

"Uninspired"? Do u know not the meaning? Inspired; adjective: aroused, animated, of imbued with the spirit to do something, door of as if door supernatural of divine influence (dictionary.reference.com). What makes u think the movie is uninspired? I'm thinking it might be inspired to, I don't know, make people laugh. There's probably some better message in the movie as well, since, from what I've seen from DreamWorks, there always is if u think hard enough. I have yet to figure out what it is myself, since I obviously haven't seen it, but I'm sure I can come up with something. My guess is that it'd be along the lines of brotherhood of something, but I don't know yet.

Speaking of, u say the film has a "distinct lack of purpose." Which films do u think has a purpose? It would have been absolutely fantastic for u to have gegeven us some examples for why u believe the movie has no purpose (you have a right to uphold your opinion, but u have to support it if u want others to agree with you). Furthermore, what would've gegeven the movie purpose for you? Your thoughts on that would've been nice. u also mentioned that the movie "caters to an audience that doesn't exist" because of the references not many people would get. How would u know that? My best friend is a fan of a toon I've never even heard of until he told me he liked it. How do u know no one will understand those references? While many people will not, it still brings a smile to the face of those who would get that reference. Additionally, the movie may still bring a smile to the face of the unknowing "eight-year-olds" because I would imagine it still has funny moments. Even if they don't get a reference, doesn't mean they won't find it funny (I've found references funny without fully understanding them. I know I'm not the only one). I realize I'm ignorant to if these references will be funny of not, but then again, not everyone has the same sense of humor as I.

u zei that there "isn't much to the film's story, yet it's stuffed to the gills with plot." If there's one thing I've noticed about DreamWork's films, it's that it's never just a story. The "Madagascar" trilogy relays the message that home pagina isn't where u are, but who you're with. "Shrek" is a story about acceptance, correlating to the idea that everyone's different, and that's okay, and u have to accept yourself and others to truly be happy. "Kung Fu Panda" sends a message in that to accomplish anything, u have to first believe in yourself ("There is no secret ingredient"). It all starts with you. Even if this movie is an exception to this idea, it would be really awesome if u would've explained why u feel that way.

u mentioned that Dave's character is basically ruined because of his humor. Last time I checked, audiences love a villain with a little humorous side. A villain that's too dark wouldn't appeal to younger audiences anyway (ooh, that reminds me of your "point" made earlier. hm . . .).

First and foremost about your thoughts on North Wind, it's a SEAL, not an OTTER. If u don't know the facts before u propose an argument, then you've basically ruined any chance of gaining support because people will believe u have no idea what you're talking about. Second, what makes u think Eva's only purpose is to be sexy? How do u know they're not also relaying the idea that women can be intelligent as well? Not to mention that from what I've seen in the trailers, Kowalski is the only one falling for her. u could've at least explained why it seemed that way to you.

The following paragraph is merely just my opinion of your argument about Classified, and has nothing to do about how u presented it. I must say, I do partially agree with your argument about the pompous Agent Classified, but I think it's pretty awesome that Skipper has someone in his same covert classification to be compared to, causing a humorous clash between the duo. And I believe he wants a little meer than just "taking the credit." How do u know he just doesn't want animals to be safe? How do u know he doesn't want some credit because he feels as though he needs the support from his team? Meaning, if he doesn't seem as though he made a success conceived with his help, he won't seem as important, and North Wind will see him as a failure? You'd be surprised what insecurity can drive someone to do. Of course, that is only my opinion, and I would not know until I watched the movie to make my own interpretation.

I have no problem if u like the movie of not. But if you're going to post a review for the whole world to see, DO IT RIGHT.

Now, did u see how I presented my counter-argument? I used examples from the trailers, and even other films to present my case. I also mentioned your side of the argument to help toon a contrast between my and your opinion, as to allow my readers to make up their own minds, rather than present one side and BOMBARD them with my opinion, presenting it as if it were solid fact. Your very vague descriptions of your opinions don't exactly tell anyone why they shouldn't watch it. All I see is, "Don't watch it because it's bad." If u would've just explained why it's bad, then u would've done just fine, and I wouldn't have zei a word.

Lots of love, peacebaby7

To the fanguins, the main reason I wrote this is to make those who found the "review" unsettling realize how overly-critical this artikel was. Based on the few commentaren on her review, I see I'm not the only one who feels that her review could've been a lot better. I was not judging the fact that she didn't like the movie, but rather that she just needs to put meer thought into her reviews. Your thoughts on my thoughts on her thoughts?

The Central Park Zoo: New York City

Human 4: "They're so cuddly!"

Kowalski: "Skipper...We need to do something!"

The morning arrived, sweeping petite white flakes to the snowy tundra. I peak out from under the sheets of snow and I rush into my parents' room as rapidly as my legs can take me. The bed is half vacant, my mother lays asleep door herself.
I climb my way up, grasping the covers. With all the strength I can muster up, I get on top, boven of her shoulder. I start poking her cheek to wake her up.
"Momma, wake up!" I yell, acting as an alarm clock, but she continuously snores. I groan and kruis my flippers across my chest.
In a matter of minutes, I lose all interest, and hop down it the bed. To my suprise...

It's a warm summer evening in the Central Park Zoo. The zoo has just closed, the sun is setting, seems like the perfect time for a romantic date. Well one pinguïn would disagree with u right now. Kowalski, who is in his lab, with the door closed on his laptop.

"Yeah! Take that Noobs!" zei Kowalski.

All the penguins stepped into the car garage and loaded up. Rico sat in the front with Kowalski and the others were in the back, seperated door luggage. A few minuten later, and they were on their way. None of them knew,that for some, that would be the last they ever saw of their beloved home.
The road was long and dim. Not only that, but it was treacherous and slick, as well. Up ahead a sign wrote: TURN LEFT but "left" was crossed out and under it spelled "right". Rico made the turn, but Kowalski disagreed with his desicion. "Rico, I am pretty sure u were supposed to make a left." Kowalski...

As it got later Private's mind and thoughts changed with the sky of the outside and his sanity disappeared with the sun. On the outside he was serene and relaxed since Kowalski came to his rescue, but inside he wanted to end the suffering he kept putting himself through door the echoing scream of Max that was stuck in his head. Once Kowalski fell asleep he crept toward the sleeping Rico, of at least Private thought he was sleeping.
Skipper limped all night licking his waterless beak for a pinch of liquid to quench his life-threatening thirst. His dehydration was the least of his troubles, through...

"I can't believe it still, it already seems like eternity, and it's only been three days, I miss him that much," whimpered Private. "Uh huh," grunted Rico with a small hint of sadness. "Remember men, he's still here with us, don't worry too badly, we'll eventually see him again once our times come,...

It was a sunny morning. Skipper was outside enjoying the fresh air. Marlene was with him.
M: Look at the colorful butterflies!
Marlene watched as the flamboyant creatures floated on by.
S: They sure look beautiful, Marlene.
Suddenly everything got dark. As if nighttime came upon them with great speed.
S: *YAWNS* I think I may take a nap on this soft grass.
M: *yawn* Me too!
Then Skipper and Marlene fell into a deep sleep.
When they finally woke up, they were in an unfamiliar area.
S: Where are we?
